Observations 02 Jan 2006: (Part 1) ---------------------------------------- Cosatrak 1 (Computerised satellite Tracking System). MINTRON low light level CCD surveillance camera (0.005 lux typical in non integration mode) and 0.00005 lux in STARLIGHT mode with 128 frame integration. Used with 145mm focal length f/2.5 lens,integrating for 96 frames which is equivalent to an exposure of 1.92 seconds per image.

The magnitude is variable with a period of about 31 seconds. (2) I have still to measure geostationaries observed so this,along with all the strays seen ( 9 so far), will hopefully be reported tomorrow. (3) Own note: changed ELC to about 35-40% level - was a disaster as the MINTRON camera never integrated for more than a second despite being set on 2.56 seconds. Whenever the sky was too bright- ie at low elevations- it did not appear to integrate at all so it was basically operating at 0.005 lux sensitivity at 25 frames/second. Next time put ELC on maximum setting.
